SMOG!! Aren't they around $700 a piece??!!

Polys coming soon

Of course, now the weather breaks nice and now all I want to do is be outside working in the gardens. Just got done picking up a tarp full of crap from this last storm.

WRT54G v2.2... nice piece you've got there. Have you put DD-WRT on that yet? Also, what are those reflectors you put on the antennae? Might have to check that out for my WRT54G

Yeah, I put DDWRT on it as soon as I got it home.
This is the antenna reflectors:

Those are standard size I had on it. Says 9dBm which is about what I got, maybe a little more. It was being used as a client there, so the fact that it made it pretty directional worked out fine.

OC'd it and cranked up the output power to 100mw.

What are those weird proto yagis you have attached to the dipoles?

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1

For $30 I scored myself 3 motherboards. Only thing wrong with them is bad caps. I can get $50 each if I sell them in a refurbished PC at work, so it should be easy money. There is an Intel D865PERL, a D865GBF and a Lenovo thinkcentre motherboard. All seem OK so far after repairs. I even gave the D865PERL a poly-mod on the VRM and I'm stress testing it in Prime95 as I type this. The others got rubycons.

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1

Supermicro X7DAL-E for $24+ship.
Used these usually go for $200 and up.
http://www.supermicro.com/products/m...0X/X7DAL-E.cfm

Ad said it had a chip in PCB near CPU #2 implying CPU-2 might not work.
Asked for close-up photos and the chip was in the edge of PCB were it didn't affect any traces.
~ Board runs fine with single or dual CPUs.

Dual skt 771 takes dual or quad core Xeons & 24GB RAM.
ATX Form Factor so fits standard cases.

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1

Just got two freebie power supplies, Bestec ATX-250 12E. Both dead with 5vsb problems, but for me, an easy fix.

I will use one with Abit KT7A which I have recapped. But can't check out my recap job because it doesn't have a cpu....yet. Anyone got a AMD socket 462 cpu running somewhere between 700 and 1000 Mhz?

Got the first Bestec fixed by doing the DM311 mod. The original switching transistor was open, and I didn't want to damage anything further by trying to fix that 2 transistor circuit and creating a fireworks show!

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1

best ever.... gigabyte am2 ds3 amd 770 board + black edition athlon x2...

it may be a while until i can get it (at my old house), but i have a 1000mhz athlon t-bird that could be yours for the cost of shipping... i also have a 1300mhz duron t-bird in front of me... again, cost of shipping.

The Abit board will take a cpu from 500 mhz to 1200 mhz, so the 1300 simply won't do me any good. When you can get hands on the 1000 mhz cpu, I am interested. Just pm me when you have it and I will send you some post money.
